The event will take place two days after the release of Swift’s new album, ‘Reputation’, featuring the singles ‘Look What You Made Me Do’, ‘Ready For It’ and ‘Gorgeous’.

This year’s awards ceremony is being promoted under the hashtag #LondonIsOpen, spearheaded by Mayor Sadiq Khan, promoting the idea that the British capital is “united and open for business, and to the world, following the EU referendum”.

Last year, the EMAs were held in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and were hosted by Bebe Rexha. Bruno Mars, DNCE, and Kings of Leon were among the many artists to perform.
